PolakPA Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Although Michigan already had OTP so not to much change occurred. Guess you can practice without an agreement now? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wzzm13.com/amp/article/news/health/whitmer-order-medical-practice-laws/69-115b112b-1ba0-414f-af49-f1b2601d440d Edited March 31, 2020 by PolakPA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpackelly Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 For COVID patients and during the emergency. Also, liability is partially waived unless gross negligence occurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, liability is partially waived unless gross negligence occurs. Partially waived liability means liability. If you have ever been in a lawsuit, the scumbag attorney ALWAYS makes it sound like "gross negligence"....and with people dropping like flies out there, there are going to be a ton of lawsuits filed in about 15 months... Not worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SERENITY NOW Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 So true. Anybody know of more that we could read about these types of situations. Liability during "times of crisis". I wonder if things blow up in our ED if we should be documenting such in each patient record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cideous Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 ^^^. Send one patient home from the ED that worsens and dies..........bam. You will be sued. Gross negligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACali Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Physician supervision or not, PA can still get sued alone. Physican's name will get drop later if clearly not their fault. That's what I learned from our legal department. We have many cases like that. I know some PA still think we can get away with killing as long as we have a supervising doc, that is not true. That's why I advocate FPAR/OTP, I'm okay with collaborating physician but not supervision. When was last time any of you truly get supervised?
